I find this hard to believe........plus I recall you shopping for bilsteins awhile ago.

Nope, not Bilsteins. Way too much dough for me. The ones that are on the way look like these:

With these wheels:

I think I got the parking brake issue mostly figured out. Got a great deal on this:

Hosting site was down for a bit, looks like its back up now.

Also found an interesting adapter. It adapts 60° Chevy V6 to 90° Chevy V6/V8 and is approximately 1/8” thick. Hmm...Can you say 6L80E with a 4.027 1st gear!

F My Life. I officially hate '95 Rangers!

1. Stupid thermo-plastic intakes - had to take the sawz-all & cut a support out to clear the BTO TV cable adapter.
2. Throttle body - it uses a wider arm than the '93s.
3. Radiator - its not supported on the bottom like the '89-94s. So my '94 rad won't work.
4. Tranny cooler - also different between the '94 and '95.

...:bsnicker:...I love my 95 Ranger....

...Sorry I couldn't have been more help but I had to get my tail draggin Ranger back to the big "H"...

What brackets did you order? Pick up some plate steel and cutoff wheels and we can start working on building the rest of the brackets on Saturday. If the Joints you ordered are 1.25" shanks then pick up some PVC and some 1.25" female threaded ends so we can build some mockup links. I have a few extra RH joints so we can use all right hand joints with the PVC inserts.

When are the coil overs scheduled to arrive?

 

[90ranajo]

Lower frame brackets will be here this week. Hopefully the lower link axle brackets and trackbar bracket will be here within the next week. We will need to fab up the upper axle link and axle side trackbar bracket.

Coilovers should be here in about 7-10 days.

 

[RockRanger]

Grab a few square feet of plate and a dozen or so cutoff wheels and we can knock that upper link mount out. Have to wait on the track bar mount till everything else shows up though. Maybe grab some steel for the trans cross member as well and we can get that built as well.

 

[90ranajo]

Yeah!!

Wheels are being boxed up and shipping out today and should have them by Wed. And the shock builder should be finished Monday and have them by the end of the week.

Now if UPS would show up soon, I'll have most of the brackets today. And why is it when you have a package that needs to be signed for UPS shows up at 9 AM while you're at work, but no signature required they don't show up until 6 PM?:scratch:

Editifications:
WooHoo!! UPS showed up early! Now next week needs to hurry up an get here.

Because you weren't there at 9 so they said why bother?

Axle mock up (Sorry Colin, no Ultra Flat Black):

It's alright Show. From what bad assness (yeah, I just said that) I can see is happening to this truck, I'll let it slide.

 

[90ranajo]

I don't think the Raider Nation would approve of ultra flat so I went with semi-flat.

Updates??????

Hey you got more pictures than I did and I just got home. Still need to get cleaned up.
